CSPM deployment methodologies refer to the various approaches by which CSPM tools are deployed within an organization’s cloud environment to assess and manage its security posture. These methodologies are broadly categorized as agent-based, API-based, and proxy-based, and they determine how the CSPM tool interacts with the cloud resources, collects data, and performs security analysis.
